#21 - new raised bed

 From this …

To this …


I’ve planted up with Rummer Beans at the back, and Salad Onions in the front.

Then yesterday I found a little rusted bird ornament to sit on the top bar, and round balls for each upright.  I’d take a photo of them, but is is pouring and we have a thunder storm kicking off.  

The balls aren’t fitted yet, and I think they might get a coat of Valspar Blanc de Blances (as per the shed door). The bed itself is painted in Blue Stain and I am going to repaint in Ducksback Forest Green, and the uprights and top bar have been painted in Forest Green, so the Blanc balls will be a nice contrast.

I am super lucky that he Darling Husband  builds these beds for me, but he out did himself with the bean support on this one.  There are a whole stack of gravel boards waiting for him to build me more, and I have to say that I quite like these climbing supports, so he may well add them to the bed on the opposite side of the shed, I think that they were made out of shuttering boards from when the shed base went in.

I also found a lovely wind chime in Home Sense, which has a nice tinkle, but it’s painted black with a weird symbol on the sail.  It has been put on the black rose arch for the time being.  Probably it will get the same Valspar Blanc on both the “hat” and sail, and I’ll cut out a vinyl flower on the Cricut Machine.
